Did California's Sales Tax Just Increase?

In summary, the California Sales Tax Increase is a recent change in the state's sales tax rate from 7.25% to 7.5%, implemented in order to generate additional revenue for the state's budget. This increase will affect consumers by slightly increasing their sales tax rate and potentially leading to higher prices for goods and services. There are exemptions to this increase, such as groceries and prescription medication, and it is currently set to last for 7 years before reverting back to 7.25%, but could potentially be extended or made permanent by the state government in the future.

P3 updated it for me. :) Gotta love CA! lol NOT!
 
It's just wrong to choose April 1 as a day to institute a tax increase. That ain't right.
